Millie was a joy! Best thing was she kept in contact all the time, so I didn’t feel nervous that I was going to be let down at the last minute. Lovely personality, and obviously talented. Thankyou, Millie

The ancient tradition of the Wassail was revived at Coton to save an ancient orchard. Duncan made the event a success. Leading the procession with the Wassail King and Queen to the century old trees. We could not be more impressed by Duncan. Can highly recommend we'd give six stars if we could.

David took on my event at such short notice. He was amazing from the first contact until the end of the event. Unfortunately it was a funeral for my Grandad and David played the car in whilst playing beautifully on the Scottish bagpipes. It really made the send off just perfect! David, you really were amazing and I cannot thank you enough. You are very talented!!! I will definitely be booking for you my wedding one day! Thank you for making a horrible day that little bit lovely xxx
